As the saying goes, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country.

In the NBA, too, it's not easy to win a championship.

But what is even more difficult is defending the title, let alone three in a row.

Phil Jackson as a three-in-a-row owner of a triple.

It has been said that the triple championship of modern basketball is the limit.

For the Lakers, the biggest challenge this season is, of course, defending the title.

And for Wang Shuang, the challenge given to him by the system turned out to be to keep the position of the team's boss?

After choosing to accept the system task.

The system immediately released the side quest:

[Side Mission 01 Activation: Lakers in-team training game, defeat the team led by Durant

Difficulty: Ghost level.

Reward: 50 System Coins.

Mission completion: 0/01. 】

"It's really fast, the season hasn't even started, so I'll be assigned a task first."

Think of the great rewards after completing the mission.

Wang Shuang took the task with tears in his eyes.

His attention naturally turned to Durant.

Durant came to the Toyota Center a little earlier than Wang.

He has changed into the No. 35 jersey of the Lakers.

I started taking pictures and interviews with reporters.

Throughout the summer, Durant naturally received a lot of criticism.

Russian City fans can say "hate" to him.

The whole city is erasing the traces he once left behind.

and the once good brother Westbrook, the two also collapsed.

It started with Durant's decision to join the Lakers.

Westbrook's Twitter shut down Durant.

Three months from July to October.

The two didn't communicate at all.

And Durant has been active in Los Angeles since August.

Fortunately, when Durant was under verbal criticism.

James jumped out to block the gun, drawing most of the fire.

Then, Owen made another trade request.

The whole Cavaliers team fell apart, and all the gossip enthusiasm was transferred to Cleveland.

Durant has the opportunity to spend his days in Los Angeles.

He bought a property here.

and a large group of stars such as Kobe Bryant and Paul in Los Angeles for training camp.

He also played in the Drew League, where he made big moves......

Of course, Durant also wants to have some intersection with Wang Shuang.

After all, on the bright side, Wang Shuang's interview welcomed Durant.

It provided a public opinion guarantee for Durant to sign with the Lakers.

If Wang Shuang made it clear in the interview that Durant is not welcome.

Or that Durant's visit to the Lakers is an "act of defection".

No matter how thick-skinned Durant is, he will not join the Lakers.

But wait for Durant to really join the Lakers.

Wang Shuang disappeared and only texted Durant on the day of the signing.

Then he also liked Durant on Twitter.

After that, Wang Shuang began his secret training.

Basically, no one knows where Wang Shuang is or how to practice.

Many people are curious why this guy has improved so much in half a season.

Isn't there any special training method.

Durant also wants to know, but unfortunately he doesn't have this opportunity.

Now, the Lakers' preseason training camp begins.

The Lakers can finally meet.

It turned out to be the first time the two had met since the Western Conference Finals.

It's still incredible to think about.

Because if there are supergiants in the alliance joining forces.

Generally, it starts early to secretly pass through the song.

Brotherhood immediately after joining.

Privately tandem and play together.

For example, Paul was going to trade to the Lakers.

The alliance hasn't been officially adopted yet.

Bryant and including began texting each other.

Of course, there is a racial understanding among black players.

As Wang Shuang from the mysterious eastern country.

It's normal not to see it.

The two shook hands, hugged each other, and exchanged a few words.

To be honest, Wang Shuang is still quite uncomfortable.

In the West, he didn't spew trash talk to Durant.

At that time, the mentality of Durant spraying directly collapsed.

This is also one of the important reasons why the Thunder lost the Western Conference Finals.

Not to mention Wang Shuang, Durant himself thinks it's weird.

Seeing Wang Shuang's face, he had an urge to rush up and punch him.

"Why did I join the Lakers? What did you think at the time? Why didn't anyone stop me? ”

Durant began to mumble in his heart.

But it's too late for him to mutter.

He signed a two-year contract with the Lakers.

Obviously, this is also learning from James.

A two-year contract of more than 50 million.

Durant also took a slight pay cut.

So that the Lakers can re-sign Jeff Green.

Keep the Lakers competitive enough.

Also, Durant has a lot of other considerations for joining the Lakers.

Compared to a cosmopolitan city like Los Angeles.

The city of Russia is really a poor and remote country.

Durant is very similar to James in this regard.

James was taken directly by Cleveland.

Durant was originally in Seattle.

As a result, I didn't know that the team moved.

I went to Ohio.

The total population of the city is 500,000.

Counting the surrounding satellite cities or something, it's only 1 million.

In China, it is an ordinary county seat.

So, stay in Russia except to play.

There is no possibility of any other development.

Los Angeles is different, the heart of the West Coast.

Durant will undoubtedly get more attention here.

Thinking of this, Durant's complicated mood calmed down a little.

After the two took photos, they ended the press conference.

The whole team had lunch and started the training camp at half past one in the afternoon.

This is Durant's first time working with the Lakers.

The Lakers head coach is still Byron Scott.

After all, it's a champion coach, so you can't just say it's open.

And in the course of the playoffs, Scott did show what he was capable of.

Be brave and resourceful, trust the players, and dare to delegate power at critical moments.

Wang Shuang is also very supportive of Scott as a coach.

Here comes a new coach who is not familiar with the situation of the Lakers.

I don't know what kind of moth tactics I'm going to do.

Scott now understands it deeply.

The Lakers' tactic is to give the ball to Wang Shuang.

This tactic is very useful.

It's better than giving the ball to Kobe, to O'Neal, to James or whatever.

The ball is in Wang Shuang's hands, and he can distribute it to you well.

So, the first lesson of the bootcamp today.

Scott is trying to convey this idea.

Last season's championship-winning lineup, the Lakers basically retained.

Jeff Green, Allen, Randolph and the Grizzlies all stayed.

Clarkson, Lowe and Nance Jr. are either rookies or contract extensions.

These people are all people who know Wang Shuang's strength well.

Anyone who has gone through the playoffs last season all the way to winning the championship.

There is no dissatisfaction, even if Kobe Bryant does not retire and stay with the Lakers, he will accept it.

For the rest, new signings like Gasol, Joe Johnson, and Durant.

This kind of needs to be "adjusted" well.

Not only because they are new recruits, but they don't know the real magic of Wang Shuang.

It's also because these players used to be the core of the team.

Gasol, Johnson, and Durant have all led the team as bosses.

Gasol was a little better, unsuccessful as the Grizzlies' boss.

After coming to the Lakers as an assistant, it can be said that he cooperated with Kobe Bryant.

Very, very good assistant.

Joe Johnson started with the Suns.

Later, he went to the Eagle to be the Eagle King.

Then go to the Nets and the top names.

The titles of "Singles Joe" and "Contemporary Jordan" are not fake.

Not to mention Durant.

Born in 1988, he was just 28 years old.

At the pinnacle.

In which team it is placed in, it is the material of the core boss.

But with the Lakers, they want him to understand that.

It still takes some time and effort.

Because after Durant came to the Lakers.

I never said anything like "this is Wang Shuang's team, I'm here to assist Wang Shuang".

Generally, the big-name free agents who are airborne will be more or less polite in front of the media.

Next! Page 1 of 3

Or that's what I thought.

For example, O'Neal Jr. was traded to the Raptors.

and Bosh to form the Toronto Twin Towers.

Xiao Ozhi, who is more outstanding in terms of qualifications and team honors, said: "This is Bosh's team, I am just here to help him." ”

Even if you don't think so, be subtle.

The strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake.

It's as good as James going to the Heat.

The first season also gave up the position of the boss.

As a result, the 2011 Finals Heat lost very ugly.

Until now, some people have questioned it, saying that James is afraid of winning the championship Wade and winning the FMVP.

So deliberately released water and scored 8 points in a single game to make the team lose.

As for the truth and falsehood, no one can prove it.

Therefore, when Durant came to the Lakers, it stands to reason that he should also say this.

Make your attitude clear.

After all, the Lakers are champions.

And it was stepping on the corpses of the Thunder and Durant to enter the Finals.

But Durant didn't say anything.

After coming to Los Angeles, I gave various interviews.

Durant did not say that he was here to assist Wang Shuang.

didn't say that this was Wang Shuang's team.

On the contrary, Durant always mentions Kobe.

Bryant also often comes out to participate in events with Durant.

But Kobe Bryant is already in the past tense and belongs to the emperor.

The new boss doesn't pay a visit, and he mingles with the former boss every day.

It's impossible to say that you don't have a little thought.

Durant is a typical person who wants to stand up and win the championship.

It's the same as James.

After all, Durant is following the path that came before him.

But Wang Shuang is not Wade.

After training of a warm-up nature.

Scott duly started a training match with the team.

Scott asked for everyone's opinions to group them.

Wang Shuangdao: "Let Kevin and I pick each other, how about it?" ”

Durant was right in the middle of it.

was very embarrassed by Wang Shuang in the West Final.

Now that it's a team, the team can train harder.

For the loss of the Western Conference finals, Durant is still angry.

He doesn't think he lost to Wang Shuang.

Because the two don't play against each other much in the game.

Durant felt that the team's loss was mainly due to the fact that other people were not in good shape.

The Thunder relied too much on the double less.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant played steadily.

The rest of the humble players always have someone to step up.

And Wang Shuang, this guy is indiscriminate.

Always attack yourself with trash talk.

It made Durant's game mentality messy.

And after this summer's bombardment of public opinion.

Durant feels like his mentality has been honed well.

As long as he stabilizes his mentality, he will definitely be able to achieve more.

Especially with the Lakers.

Just like when James was with the Heat.

Wang Shuang picked people first, and he ordered Pau Gasol.

A good inside line is important.

Durant asked Nance Jr.

Durant picked Clarkson again.

He knew that Clarkson and Wang Shuang worked well together.

Wang double-clicked Joe Johnson.

Both veterans came to Wang Shuang's team.

Wang Shuang wants them to feel what AI intelligent play is.

The two of them chose their teammates.

Then go to the sidelines and discuss the style of play briefly.

Wang Shuang said to Gasol and Johnson: "Later, when I give you the ball, you try to attack and solve the problem by yourself." ”

Gasol said: "Is this the core of our team's play? Kobe Bryant mentioned it to me. ”

Wang Shuang nodded and said, "That's right, of course you can also pass the ball, or whatever." I'm sure you'll understand. ”

Gasol frowned and thought for a moment.

I don't think it's a big problem.

At the beginning, Gasol partnered with Kobe Bryant in the Lakers.

The first game with the Lakers was outstanding.

It can be said that it is seamless.

Because Gasol has a very high basketball IQ.

At that time, the Lakers played a triangle offense.

And the so-called triangle attack is not a specific tactical routine.

It's a basketball tactical philosophy.

It's about fully supporting the offensive space on the field.

Give the ball carrier plenty of singles opportunities.

Once you encounter a trap, a defensive trap.

The structure of the triangle attack ensures a smooth delivery of the ball.

Because each player is kept at the right distance from each other.

It can be especially difficult to make the opponent's bag rotation turn.

The essence of the tripod attack that Gasol understood in just one game.

Now, Wang Shuang's tactical theory seems to be more free and simple.

Joe Johnson didn't seem to understand.

But when it comes to singles, is there anyone who knows better than him?

Maybe Durant understands it very well.

On the other side, Durant chose the young and main players in the Lakers.

Like Clarkson, Jeff Green, Nance Jr. and Loewe.

Durant thought to himself that these people were the cadres who would follow Wang Shuang in the playoffs.

If you can prove that leading them is stronger than Wang Shuang.

Isn't that the first step to becoming the boss of the team?

With such a mentality, the confrontation between the two sides began.

There is no mid-circle jump ball, Wang Shuang and Durant rock-paper-scissors.

Wang Shuang came out of the stone, and Durant came out of the cloth.

Durant smiled and said, "Our ball, start attacking!" ”

Durant serves in the backcourt, and Lowe takes the ball and attacks.

Scott watched from the sidelines and thought it was funny.

The lineup on Durant's side.

It is the main lineup of the Lakers in the Finals.

To be honest, this lineup is really not enough to watch.

Two rookies, a colander, a bum.

As a result, Wang Shuang took the championship to bite down.

Scott still finds it incredible.

As a coach, he doesn't know how to set up tactics for such a lineup.

And Wang Shuang can play this lineup so well.

Now Wang Shuang has been replaced by Durant.

Scott was eager to see what the difference was.

On the Wang Shuang team's side, they all say veterans.

Gasol, Joe Johnson, Tony Allen Garlandorf.

Not even a proper point guard.

Only Tony Allen can be kept on the ball.

"I wonder if Wang Shuang has improved his ball control ability this summer?"

Scott thought that if Wang Shuang's ball control ability was taken to the next level.

Then his strength will be more complete.

Not to mention reaching the level of stability like Irving, Curry, and James.

can have good control ability, and the Lakers don't need to play death double guards anymore.

On the first shot of the opening game, Durant held the ball from the outside.

Wang Shuang faced Durant one-on-one.

Durant was not polite and accelerated his breakthrough with the ball.

Then make a sharp stop and lean back to shoot, hit!

Nice acceleration, nice step-back jumper.

Durant is around 210 tall.

Able to make such excellent ball-holding shots.

In the history of the NBA, it is the only one of the scorpion's tails.

On the side of the Wang Shuang team, Tony Allen controlled the ball for half time.

handed the ball directly to Wang Shuang.

Wang Shuang passes the ball to Gasol in the low post.

Gasol eats Nance Jr. with his back alone.

After turning, he distributed the ball to Randolph.

Randolph's layup missed.

"You should attack the bubble directly!"

Wang Shuang reminded Gasol loudly.

Gasol nodded, still thinking that Randolph had a better chance.

As everyone knows, Wang Shuang has already been judged.

Gasol is in red and will have a high success rate in attack.

And Randolph is blue and difficult to score.

Durant grabbed the rebound.

The team fought back, but Durant mistakenly passed the ball to Jeff Green.

Green walked the sideline and was squeezed by Wang Shuang and did not get a chance to go straight to the basket.

You can only return the ball to Clarkson and play positional attack.

Positional offense, Durant asks for the ball in the low post.

The ball was given to Durant, and Durant wanted to organize.

But the ball was passed to Lu Wei, and Lu Wei held the ball and burst in.

The throw misses Gasol's defense.

This ball was replaced by Wang Shuangzai, and he went to the basket to grab the rebound in the frontcourt.

But Durant doesn't have the awareness and ability to do that.

Next! Current Page 2 / Total 3 Pages

Wang Shuang grabbed the backcourt rebound and did not launch a fast attack.

Or positional warfare, to Gasol.

Gasol eats Nance Jr. alone on his back this time.

After turning, the left hook hit easily.

It was too difficult for Nance Jr. to guard Gasol in the low post.

Height, reach, and experience are all at a disadvantage.

Of course, the game has only just begun.

Nance Jr. has the advantage of being young.

After the experience of the finals, he has also grown a lot.

Gasol started the game with plenty of fitness.

Naturally, it is a dozen and one accurate.

As the game progresses, it progresses.

The confrontation between the two teams is getting fierce.

The scores of the two sides are even more wrong.

But take a closer look at the technical statistics.

Durant's scoring is basically won by Durant.

In 10 minutes, Durant has scored 14 points.

The team only scored 18 points.

On the Wang Shuang team, they scored 20 points.

Wang Shuang only scored 4 points, but grabbed 7 rebounds.

Gasol had seven points, Joe Johnson had four, Randolph had two and Tony Allen had three points.

Which team plays more evenly.

It's clear at a glance.

When you take a break.

Durant wiped his sweat and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He looked at Lu Wei and these people, and thought to himself, "Did they do it on purpose?" Why don't you play well with my team? ”
